A poem to share

This poem was sent to me by my good friend Maria to share in my blog. It is hilarious - most of the references are to food and parts of food dishes, only a couple which I haven't had, seen or heard of (and am currently clarifying). I hope you enjoy what parts you can understand! Feel free to ask for any clarification, but I feel that it needs to exist clean and clear for now!

How Do I Love Thee - West Indian Style

You are the essence in my mauby
De fish in my fishcakes
I love you love you dearly
You are the lard oil in my bakes
You are the coconut in my sweetbread
De pigtail in my rice
Just like piece of curry goat head
I will love you till I dead.

You are the sardine in my gravy
The dumplings in my soup
I love you more than mi belly
Yes I love you bad fah true.

Like banana leaf around my conkie
I'll be always close to you
Sweet like sugar in your bush tea
I'll do anything for you.

You are the sauce around my Cou Cou
Hot like sweetbread when it done
I will stick to you like dandruff
Like the corns upon your toes
Like the fat around your belly
I'll be everywhere you goes

Cause you are my black pudding
And I know I am your souse
When you call I will come running
Like when a boar cat see a mouse.

Oh my pepper on my pork chop
Sweet like sorrel when it mix
When my hands caress your body
You feel just like a couple-six.

You are sweeter than a snowcone
I will give you all I own
You are sweeter than a hambone
Soft and sweet like piece'o'pone.
No one can take me from you
Not in this life or death
My Panya girl I love you
It's just your mudda me caant tek.
